Parents, family members and famous people's influence
intermediate B1 level

Description

In this lesson, I will start the lead-in with a picture about a Turkish family to raise my learners' cultural awareness. I will ask students to draw their family pictures to talk about the most important person who has a great influence on them. After that, I will pre-teach them some vocabularies. Ss will then listen to people whose lives are influenced by important people and answer a question for the gist. Afterwards, they will listen for specific information. Listening activity will be followed by a task for detailed listening. I will provide my ss with 'useful language' to have speaking for that post-task.
